HISTORY

The Regents Park Sexual Health Clinic was created in 1985 as the first private alternative to the STD clinics of the NHS.

It was opened with these main aims:

• To provide a service which would be discrete, efficient, sympathetic and non-judgemental.
  
• To provide prompt appointments without the long waits typical of existing clinics.
  
• To provide a service which delivered test results much more quickly than traditional clinics for people who were naturally anxious to know whether they had been infected or not.
  
• To provide counselling and high quality treatment whenever necessary.

These remain the aims today. Amazingly, we still provide appointments far sooner than NHS clinics and much quicker results.

From the beginning we were used by performers in the adult entertainment industry who needed frequent tests and found it a far more pleasant environment than elsewhere with a better understanding of their needs. This was the foundation of the expertise we have today.

In 2005 the Clinic was taken over by Doctorcall, the medical services group, and re-located to 121 Harley Street. Here the Clinic has the advantage of on-site laboratory and testing facilities which keeps the time between test and result to a minimum.

After operating the Clinic for a period, we have now created a new specialised testing programme for performers in the adult entertainment industry which is simpler, more convenient and more cost-effective than other regimes.

ABOUT DOCTORCALL

Doctorcall was founded in 1989 to provide prompt medical treatment for people in their home, workplace or hotel, normally within one hour of a call. We subsequently added private GP Clinics offering short-notice appointments (similar to a walk-in clinic), occupational health services for companies, cosmetic clinics and the country’s largest mobile flu vaccination service. For more information see www.doctorcall.co.uk.

Doctorcall is fully approved by the British government’s health regulator, the Healthcare Commission, which is responsible for regulating the quality and value of medical treatment in the UK.
